## Description

We're not hiring a CFO. We're not hiring a spreadsheet builder. We're not hiring someone who needs a team of five to do the work of one. We need a Finance Operator. Someone who walks into organised chaos, rolls up their sleeves, oversees the right people and processes, and doesn't leave until it's a machine.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will report directly to and support our Director of Finance freeing them from the operational grind so they can focus on strategy and growth. You will inherit a multi-entity structure with real operational complexity: live cash flow pressure, a payment infrastructure in transition, manual processes that need to be automated, and financial data that needs to be turned into clean, actionable systems.

Your mandate is simple: stabilise, systematise, and automate. You will oversee the people and processes that execute this work and where needed, you will get into the detail yourself.

**Cash Flow & Treasury Oversight & Execution**: Own the daily cash cycle across all entities DMCC, Acquisity, AI Broker, and others. Oversee and manage high-volume USD revenue flows from Whop into UAE bank accounts. Ensure seamless daily funding of GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend ad accounts do not pause on your watch.

**Payment Infrastructure Lead the Transition**: Lead the full migration from legacy Pleo/UK-entity setup to Qashio (UAE-native). Evaluate and implement Whop's virtual card platform for a direct, automated Meta spend link. Eliminate manual card-topping and payment bottlenecks entirely.

**Systems, SOPs & Automation**: Turn Manual Into Machine. Audit every manual finance process. If a human is doing it repeatedly, it should be automated or systematised. Build and implement SOPs across cash management, reporting, payments, refunds, and reconciliation and ensure the team follows them.

**Entity & Vendor Management**: Oversee financial operations across 2–3 entities, each with different products and revenue structures. Hold external bookkeeping accountable quality, timeliness, accuracy. No exceptions.

**Reporting**: Deliver distilled, executive-ready reporting: cash position, P&L by entity, key risks in five bullet points, not twenty tabs. Surface profitability issues early, particularly for Acquisity, which needs clear diagnosis and corrective action.

**Success Looks Like**: Ad accounts never pause because of cash flow. Payment infrastructure is fully transitioned and running without manual intervention. Every financial process has an SOP. Every SOP is being followed.

**Who You Are**: You've been in both the operational and leadership seat inside a fast-growing digital, e-commerce, or performance marketing business. You understand how cash actually moves not theoretically, but operationally. You know how to build the systems and lead the people that keep them running.
